British citizens 'to get 5-year Saudi visas soon'

LONDON, October 10, 2018

British citizens travelling to Saudi Arabia will soon be eligible for multiple-entry visit visas valid for up to five years, says a statement from Fragomen, a global immigration practice.

This comes as a result of an approved memorandum of understanding between the governments of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom, that aims at facilitating the issuance of visit visas to citizens of both countries travelling for tourism, business, family visit or medical treatment, it said.

The new law will come into force once all necessary legal procedures have been completed by the contracting parties, the advisory said.
